Outside my window...It is hazy, across the parking lot I can see the pool complex. We are on vacation.

I am thinking...that my tooth issue still isn't resolved and it is almost time for advil.

I am thankful for...Mike's father who took us all on this vacation.

From the kitchen...I made french toast and bacon this morning, Mike's father is taking us out every night.

I am creating...We are creating lots of memories.

I am going...to the hot tub in a few minutes, to dinner at a seafood place tonight.

I am wearing...my bathing suit shorts and "inspi(RED)" t shirt.

I am reading...The Last Summer of You and Me by Ann Brashares (I've already finished the latest Mary Higgins Clark on this trip and it is only Monday). I brought about 6 books with me. Madi and I are about 1/2 way through Where the Red Fern Grows.

I am hoping...That this week doesn't go by too fast.

I am hearing...The dryer (why are laundry and dishes so much more fun on vacation?) and Baby Cousin Willis "talking".

Around the house...Mike and the boys are playing the wii, Madi is with Jessi, Joey, and Uncle Tony at the pool.

One of my favorite things...Fudge...I plan to get some tonight at one of the beach candy shops!

A Few Plans for the Rest of the Week...More resting, reading, games, puzzles, beach, pool, walks, talks...etc...etc...

About Me

I'm Julie, wife to Mike, mother to Jonathan (18), Madi (15), and Jake (11). We are a Catholic, homeschooling family, although Jake is attending public school this year. We currently have a Chinese exchange student living with us, "Mary". I have a wheat mill and like to bake our own bread, but we eat far too much junk food to balance it out. We love reading aloud and sharing deep discussions in our family especially about our Catholic faith. On the other hand, we can quote every episode of Seinfeld, Friends, and Big Bang Theory. I've been blogging haphazardly since 2007.
